Just wanted to compliment you on your 20 Tips article ["20 Tips for Powder Measure Accuracy"] - it was well written, full of great tips (some I've already implemented) and shows expertise! The best part is that it wasn't just a tool to sell me your product (although there are a few items I'm on my way to buy)… Thank you!
